Hi Keith, 

>I notice that the current document does define the validity of these
elements for REG, but leaves the section describing the use empty. If
the purpose of inclusion was to somehow register this things in 
>the registrar against the contact, surely this should be left to
feature tags, as I think has already been suggested on the list. Or was
there some other purpose? If not, I would suggest removal.

As indicated earlier, being able to register the supported packages, and
use them for forking, would be very useful, and I think that is the
intention of the text.

Yes, maybe we need to define a feature tag, or feature tags. The
question is whether we would need a single feature tag which can list
all supported info packages, or a feature tag for each package (in which
case each info package definition would have to specify a feature tag
value). The advantage of having separate feature tags is that it gives
you much more flexibility.

>The other method that crossed my mind was OPTIONS. Should OPTIONS
provide a mechanism of identifying what the entity at the Request-URI
supports, in the same manner as it does for SDP and option tags, or

I see no reasons why the Info headers couldn't be included in OPTIONS,
so I think that should be fixed.

Regards,

Christer
